Bicycle Counts – Super Tuesday – Lake Macquarie City Council

Update: In 2020, Council opted to trial automatic counters in place of funding participation in the Super Tuesday count.\r\n\r\nThe Super Tuesday Bike Count is Australia's biggest visual bike count and originated in Melbourne in 2007.\r\n\r\nThe count takes place from 7am to 9am on the first Tuesday in March when volunteers in count cyclists at particular locations.\r\n\r\nNationally, the survey is organised by the Bicycle Network (Victoria) and provides reliable, annual figures on bicycle commuters and their movements during morning peak-hours: how many riders there are and which routes they use.\r\n\r\nBy being counted annually, Super Tuesday helps track long-term patterns and identifies tangible results from network improvements. This complements local counts undertaken by the Newcastle Cycleways Movement. The count is conducted by volunteers who record bike rider movements on a count sheet.

更新说明：2020年，当地议会决定试用自动计数器，以替代此前在‘超级星期二骑行计数’（Super Tuesday Bike Count）中采用的资助式参与方式。

‘超级星期二骑行计数’是澳大利亚规模最大的可视化骑行计数活动，于2007年起源于墨尔本。

该活动于每年三月的第一个周二上午7时至9时举行，志愿者会在指定点位统计过往骑行者的数量。

该全国性调研由维多利亚州自行车网络（Bicycle Network (Victoria)）统筹开展，旨在提供早高峰时段自行车通勤者及其出行轨迹的可靠年度统计数据，具体包括骑行者总人数与所使用的通行路线。

通过每年定期开展的计数活动，‘超级星期二骑行计数’有助于追踪骑行出行的长期趋势，并量化评估骑行网络优化措施带来的实际成效。该活动可与纽卡斯尔骑行通道运动（Newcastle Cycleways Movement）举办的本地计数活动形成互补。本次计数工作由志愿者通过计数记录表记录骑行者的通行轨迹。
